tester day was meant to be yesterday, but my ipad changed that.
Anyway wiki states that the theatre holds 5,600, but I am suggesting the use here for an awards ceremony not a Broadway show, at an awards ceremony it's acceptable to use video wall.
This venue has to be better than the Beacon theatre?
I was at Elf tester day morning, bonus Friday matinee, enough said.
With the Tony awards evicted from Radio City and moving to the Beacon Theater.
Geographically it's excellent, all on one level, so people collecting awards can come straight down, alsl it's similar capacity to Radio City, so this alleviates the problem of the Beckon being too small.
So why not go here?

The Beacon is about 2,700 plus seats whereas Radio City is about 6,000.
This does not compute Captain Kirk.

Using my impeccable investigative skills, I surmise the OP meant to suggest that the Tonys use the theater at MSG instead of the Beacon for the Tony Awards.
But.....ugh.

Yes it is . Sorta like watching a show in Hitler's bunker. Has all the ambiance of a bomb shelter.

Only if they disable that hideous criss cross lighting on the ceiling during the awards show
The thing is, besides being an utter toad of a human being, Riedel usually has the least knowledge of the topic in the room. He doesn't usually understand the content or approach of a show, and is always completely and unfailingly socially ignorant, which makes it really infuriating when Susan can't get a word in edgewise. A definitive mansplainer; it's always painful when he has female guests. I watch the show sporadically when I really want to see a guest, because it's the only theatre talkshow we have, but it would be so much better without this hateful clown in a dadcoat.
